Pianist/composer George Kahn brings a classically-trained sensibility to the jazz form, creating a musical environment where there is room for experimentation and spontaneity. Indeed, his musical mission is to recapture the magic of jazz from the earlier periods "before synthesizers and sequencers roamed the earth." As jazz broadcaster Alfredo Cruz puts it, "There is a constant that runs through his music: It's always hip." Inspired by the Internet to mass market and distribute his music through alternative channels, George has released five self-produced CDs on his independent Playing Records label.

I don't like to hear someone put down Dixieland. Those people who say there's no music but bop are just stupid; it shows how much they don't know.
– Miles Davis
